Gun control researcher Philip Alpers has accused the police officer in charge of firearms licensing of bias over a series of emails questioning his credentials.
Inspector Joe Green has written to two universities where Mr Alpers has held posts, questioning the former TV journalist's roles.
Mr Green has also written to Mr Alpers warning him he could be charged if he continued to use the title Harvard fellow.
So the
co-author of the
questionable Australian "gun death" study has questionable credentials?
Forget "questionable credentials" - he has NO credentials. Not a Bachelor's degree, not a Masters degree, and certainly not a PhD. His title "adjunct associate professor" is an honorary title that was arranged by string pulling, and that the University of Sydney should be seriously questioned about. The title is usually only given to people with suitable academic qualifications, so to give it to someone without these is highly unusual and should raise eyebrows.
